quantum field theory - What are the calculations for Vacuum Energy?


In wiki the Vacuum Energy in a cubic meter of free space ranges from 109 from the cosmological constant to 10113 due to calculations in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and Stochastic Electrodynamics (SED).


I've looked at Baez and references given on the wiki page but none of them give a clear working for how these values are derived.


Can someone point me in the right direction, as to how values like 109 are derived from the cosmological constant; OR 10113 due to calculations in Quantum Electrodynamics?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
